Hi all, new to O2 orbit. I used to have a O2 exec which was very easy to flash to WM6, but reading all the post how different is it to flash Orbit. I see alot of bricked phone here. I don't want to do the same!
thanks

On the contrary it is actually quite simple IF you follow the instructions carefully,majority of bricked devices happen because of the owners not following the proedure AND not reading ( Forum threads and WIKI) enough.
Thanks for the reply.
Is WM6 faster than WM5,which I find a bit slow!
Thanks
I use Bepe's WWE WM6, not like I do a whole lot of processor intensive tasks on my 200MHz pocket phone, but WM6 does seem to have a clean, smooth feel compared to WM5. I recommend the upgrade, but do A LOT of reading if you want to keep your phone. Honestly, unless you are after a language change or some pressing need for s ROM specifically besides the OEM - you might be better off waiting for an official release. o2 UK, and HTC are supposedly soon to release WM6 for orbit. read up on USPL, thats a good start, then go from there.

If your Orbit is originally in German. The risk is much less, there is a shiped German ROM, so you can flash it back if something goes wrong.
If your Orbit originally in a language other than German: Be very careful, and remember to flash USPL before doing any update.

Dear All,
I am new to this forum which i just joined today. Currently i am trying to figure out my newly bought SPV M600 from u.k but i m located in Malaysia. Any errors or failure on my SPV M600 will be a nightmare for me because i cannt get back to U.K and fix the SPV M600.
After i surf through the whole prophet section, i didnt able to get a proper guidelines on updating the ROM in SPV M600 to Dopod 818 pro ROM. First of all is it possible that i update the Dopod 818 Pro latest ROM? Is it compatible?
If yes please teach me the right ways to perform it. I really scare that my SPV M600 will be gone.
Any specific intruction on the update? To make it perfect?
Don't worry about your SPV m600 ther's no need to get it back to UK..You just have to search around in this forum..go to Prophet Section, surely you'll find tolls nedded and instruction
what is the SPL / IPL of your phone?
I have an M600 myself and on an Orange ROM and wonderig if the Dopod ROM is better and the pros and cons of upgrading from orange to dopod.
Also pls be sure that once you have flashed to a non orange rom u cant go back to the orange rom as it aint available nowhere.

when i try yo go through the wiki.xda-developers.com and under the phophet section there is no information. all the links seems contain no information. wondering where to start from.
and also is this rom working fine with spv m600? http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship.exe
what is extended rom? can i have a link on that. thanks
Take a look at this post:

Be aware that if you upgrade to Dopod, there's no turning back for now with this rom, meaning you won't be able to downgrade until a solution is found.
I have installed myself that dopod rom instead of the orange FR one, and I think it have better speed, but appart of that, don't really see the difference appart from some stuff missing in the dopod (like pvplayer for live tv and the rotate screen) and some useless stuff in dopod like auto config for Asian phone providers.
In my case I've update to dopod because it was the better rom atm and I wanted to get rid of that AZERTY french keyboard config which is far from handy on a phone and have a QWERTY.
Now it's up to you to know if you wanna risk it :wink:

Hello ya'all. This is my first post so first of all I'd like to congratulate you for the excellent site and forum !
There is a lot of resource info around here ! Great Job !!!
But unfortunately for some new people getting into this new world of WMobile even what it looks simple to you might be slightly blurred to us.
I bought in France a HTC P3300
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.12.00
ROM 1.12.406.1.FRE
RADIO 02.67.90
PROTOCOL 4.1.13.28
ROM EXT V.1.12.406.101
ARTE 100
Of course the WM came in French. Well I am willing to change it to WWEnglish and I've been doing my homework researching and reading, reading, reading through this website. Found the steps to do it thanks to Kleinemeus at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290241 and found the DOPODAU and LOVE ROMS as well the Extended Rom in the ftp site. As well as I found my P3300 is the same as MDA compact III, XDA Orbit, P800W, Dopod P800 ....
But I still a couple of silly doubts that I gonna ask for you MASTERS your mercy to clarify me with your wisdoom and expertise.
1) After flashing my P3300 with a English ROM will it have all same basic features/programs I have in French like, the radio, tomtom gps, etc ? In other words, doing this is like getting a desktop that came with windows in french and installing a windows in english ?
2) After being successful of flashing the Rom following the steps described in the link above by Kleinmeus how can I upgrade the Extended Rom found at the ftp ?
I really appreciate if someone could help me with these 2 questions.
Thanks in advance !!!
It should work
Be careful when flashing becos many ppl cant get it right.
If you manage to flash it successfully you should have almost the same functionality.
I dnt know abt the ROM.
Is ur phone CID unlocked?If not do it before u change the ROMS.It will be a big disaster if u get stuck in between and u cant do anything.
Yups, you'll have all the basic apps that are part of WM5.
Regarding TomTom or other Commercial GPS applications, these are not part of WM5 package and are installed by supplier, so you'll have to confirm whether the ROM that you are planning to flash has that specific GPS app.
Regardinf Extended ROM, these come as part of ROM that you will plan to flash. Usually people only take some specific apps/patches from other Extended ROM that wasn't part of supplied/flashed ROM (i guess I am right about this)
Hello guys,
I would like to know where I can find the ROM of Windows Mobile 6 in English for QTek 9100.

Hi im a noob to i currently run wm5 dutch tmboile would like to put wm6 on but where can i find the ROM.
What is not clear for me on this forum and that is because i am a noob. is that the wm 6 forum does it contain a complete rom which i can flash my phone with or do they require at least the wm6 core?
If it requires wm6 core how do you obtain this or is this one of those paid packages like win xp

Well, I know how to flash the ROM on my Qtek 9100, but I don't find the WM6 in english for it. I know the question must be redoundant, but the information is not easy to find while I already carefully searched for it before posting.
I'm ready to bet that there must be a tutorial for downloading the ROM of WM6 for Qtek 9100. But I have not found it. That's why I'm asking.
I have not found the official WM6 ROM for the Qtek 9100. If someone could upload it, it would be nice.
Cheers.

There is no tutorial that illustrates how to download WM6 for the wizard. Its a bit self explanatory considering there is a WM6 forum for the wizard with lots of releases as well as a wiki for the wizard that contains an awful lot of important information.
The closest thing to an official rom for the wizard is known as 'ingenetics' rom.
Good Luck

Unless I'm mistaken, just about every WM6 Rom here is in english. For example:
ALL NBD Roms
ALL TNT Roms
ALL Black Diamond Roms
Look around, Read, Learn, Flash, Enjoy!
Are you sure these roms will work on the qtek 9100?
I have not found these roms on the ftp site. Where are they?
Cheers.
Fred.
When I posted the first link I really meant to reccommend you to read, read and read first - but I did not mean it personally at all.
Sorry, but if you haven't been able to find any WM6 ROM in this Wizard forum yourself yet, I seriously doubt you know how to flash (non-official) ROMs ..
therefore I strongly advice you to start reading the wiki and the sticky threads on top of the forum first (as the other members also suggested in their posts above) and to understand the steps before flashing otherwise there is a high risk to brick you wizard.
Again, the links to the reading are given in the other thread as well.
Good luck!
I have found NON official ROMs on the wiki.
But no official ROMs of WM6.
What I'm looking for is just an official WM6 for Qtek 9100. That's why I'm asking.
It's not the sea to drink or reach the moon...
Best regards.
Fred.
There aren't any, so you'll have to settle for unofficial ones.
ah, ok.
That's too bad
So installing WM6 on a qtek 9100 is not that "leagal" right?
Or maybe some one has posted a ROM with WM6 somewhere and doesn't yell on each roof
error 300 invalid update tool
Hi
I receive this error when trying to update from WM5 to WM6
I have tried several WM6-roms and all of them end up with the same message
In my Qtek9100 I have IPL 2.17 and SPL 2.17. Language is swedish.
Where to find a newer update tool? The tool in all update files is from 2005-11-21
regards hasse
Hi,
I have the same IPL as you (2.17) so it's a G3 qtek.
At least you aleardy have found WM6 roms.
As I mentionned, I'm looking for an english official WM6 ROM...
It seems to be not obvious to get
Why do you want the official one so badly? If you want it that badly, perhaps you should purchase a new device with WM6 already installed?
Now using Black Diamond!
I have a Qtek 9100...people here call it a Wizard (HTC Wizard). There is no official WM6 rom for the wizard (OEMs have never been keen on upgrades to these devices, they want you to buy a new one. The upgrades they DO release are for THEIR purposes (make them more money), not necessarily to make your phone work better). All of the unofficial roms for the Wizard will work on the Qtek 9100. My Wizard (Qtek 9100) works SOOOOO much better with an UNOFFICIAL WM6 rom than it EVER did with the factory WM5 rom. My advice is to quit worrying about official or unofficial, and learn how to flash your phone so you can improve its performance. Believe me, the corporations that release official roms don't care as much about the performance of your phone as the rom cookers in this forum do. The corporations just want money, the rom cookers just want their Phones to work better.

You can use the Sdcard method to backup your present Rom using the 'Mtty' and 'r2sd all' command,but remember,only OS will be backed up and not all the applications/programs or your personal settings will not be backed up.Search for the 'Sdcard' backup method in the forum or check out this thread :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963
However,to upgrade a G4 phone,read the 'HardSPL' and 'SoftSPL' methods as 'Stickies' in the G4 forum.
Hi all,
I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...
I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?
And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?
Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!

Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:
"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"
I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".
What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?
A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.
do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE
PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.
Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;-)

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).
So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:
1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)
2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123
And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!
Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once

Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.
I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at [email protected] so I could call you back for step by step guidance.
Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.

Hello All,

I have a dutch MDA Compact III (t-mobile), running WM5 with ROM version : 1.13.114.1 NLD.
my problem is i want to use internet sharing with my laptop, and if i am getting everything good this is not really possible unless i have WM6.
My question is, where and how can i flash the phone to WM6? - should i? is there something i have to pay more attention to? anything about unlocking? i've never done this before so its kinda tricky to me.
